Many updates to Firefox on snap

Hi all,

I'm running 22.04. I just noticed my Dock acting a little odd. I
thought it might be Firefox updating via snap, so I checked, and sure
enough that's what it was:

% snap changes
ID    Status  Spawn                   Ready                   Summary
1076  Done    yesterday at 12:05 EDT  yesterday at 12:05 EDT  Auto-refresh snap "firefox"
1077  Done    yesterday at 20:45 EDT  yesterday at 20:45 EDT  Auto-refresh snap "firefox"
1078  Done    today at 03:25 EDT      today at 03:25 EDT      Auto-refresh snap "firefox"
1079  Done    today at 10:55 EDT      today at 10:56 EDT      Auto-refresh snap "firefox"

I generally like to restart snap applications when I notice they've
updated, but 4 updates in less than 24 hours seems like a lot. Am I
being overly cautious? Should I just assume that snap is smart enough
to update things in the background and alert me when applications need
to be restarted?

Walt
